To all 'whom t may concern Be it known that' I, NELSON M. BAKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Southbridge, in the county of IWorcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Goggles, of which the following is a speciticaytion.- l

vMy invention relates to goggles and has partlcular reference to that type of goggles which may be folded to facilitate carrying.

The leading object of my invention is to produce an improved construction of folding goggles. K

My further object is to so construct a pair of goggles that when they are folded the guards are satisfactorily protected.

With these and other objects in view my invention yconsists of the construction and arrangement of parts fully described and claimed in the annexed specification and claims and shown in the accompanying drawings, it being understood that I may make slight modifications therein Without departing from or exceeding the spirit of In invention, provided said modifications fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Figure I shows a fragmentary front view of my improved folding goggle in open po sition. Fig. IA is a similar view of another form. Fig. II is a topplan view of F ig. I. view of Fig. IA. Fig. III 1s a front elevation of my improved goggle in folded position. Fig. IV is a top plan view thereof. Fig. V is an enlarged fragmentary perspective view. Fig. VI is a partial elevation showing a modilied bridge VII is a partial elevation showlnga modified construction of guard. Fig. VIII is 'a partial elevation showing the bridge attached above the arm carrying the guard andl also showing a slightly niodilied form of guard.

Referring tio the drawings by reference numerals, in which similar characters de note corresponding parts throughout the several views, the. usual lenses are designated 'Ihe lenses may be secured in any desired manner, and in Fig. I, I have shown them fastened in the eye wire 2, provided 'with the end pieces 8 on the outer lend thereof. However, I'may use a frameless construction as shown in Fig. IA, the lenses being heldin place by the end clips 4; The temples 5 are fastened thereon l in the ordinary manner, but in place of the temples a head band, 6 such as shown in l Fig. It, may be used. I

Fastened to the frame of the lens is the arm Z this arm has a flattened horizontal portion 8 which forms a pivot seat for the bridge 9, the bridge being pivoted to each lens at its extremities. The arm 8 is formed with a loop therein and a guard is rigidly fastened to the end thereof. iVhile I have shown my most of the views,- it will be` understood that I do not limit myself thereto as any type of guard may be used advantageously in my construct-ion.

The advantages of my invention will be best understood by referring to Fig. IV of the drawings which folded position and shows mediately under the bridge vertical plane therewith. It 1s apparent, therefore, that the guards will be satisfactorily protected from both crushing and breaking oli'. The looped arm connecting the guards to the lens frames allows for adjustment of the guards, and in Fig. VIII, I have shown the arm fastened to the rear of the guard. This allows a free front edge the guards imand allows the guard to be adjusted to en gage the nose.

In Fig. V, I have shown an ifset l1 on the arm i' which engages the bridge when the goggles are folded and keeps one lens from being folded to a greater angle than the other. This brings the guards into den; i ig.

In Fig. VI, I haveshown a and I have slightly' altered tion of the guard arm for with this bridge, whereby the arm will bend around the loop 12 and bring the guard under the bridge, the object being substantially Athe same as in my other construction.

In Fig. VII., I have shown the end of the arm which Jfastens to the guard as bfurcated and attached tothe guard above and below the center thereof.

In Fig. VIII, I have shown a bridge fastened above the horizontal portion of the arm instead of below i ordinary spectacle guard 10 in connection therewith, it being understoodfthat I do not limit myself to the forms of .guard as I have shown here.
